    Thanks for the info. You just saved me a ton of money. I was about to start to put a wall around New Mexico.

    One thing that I am still confused about: In New Mexico do they speak New Mexican or American?

    This is a result of our war on drugs in my opinion. We should legalize and regulate instead of criminalizing them.

    I am not saying the cartel is innocent. They must be stopped. I am saying that we can do something to damage their profits.

    I'm wondering what the drug and gun laws in Mexico are like?

    Do legalized, or illegal, guns and drugs really reduce or increase violence?

    I've never been in Mexico, however I remember in the US what happened when we illegalized alcohol. It created criminals and broadened and strengthened criminal enterprise. It just didn't work.

    The same has happened here with the outlawing of drugs although to a lesser degree. Its to a lesser degree I think because it is more difficult to produce drugs.

    Incidentally, the state of California (on the US side) is sometimes referred to as Alta California.
